House of Grace (видео) 2006 смотреть онлайн

House of Wax 2005 is a lose adaptation of Charles Belden's story. It stars Elisha Cuthbert, Paris Hilton, Chad Michael Murray, Brian Van Holt and is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. The simple plot sees a group of six friends set out to a football game but encounter car trouble out in the sticks. Finding the town of Ambrose it's hoped that their problems can be solved. However this is an odd ghost like town with a huge wax museum seemingly being the only point of worth, and it holds sinister secrets that the friends are going to get wrapped up in; literally.
Forget any sort of link to the other adaptations of Belden's story, it is in truth a million miles away from the melodramatic tone of 1933s Mystery of the Wax Museum or the classy horror heart of the Vincent Price starrer House of Wax from 53. This is brought crashing up to date with the slasher audience firmly in the makers sights. The formula is a safe one for the undemanding horror fan, a bunch of pretty teenagers are offed in gruesome and ingenious ways, and the mystery element of potential survivors holds tight enough right to the end. This film does exactly what it promised to do, it's hard to imagine anyone thinking that this version was going to be anything other than a run thru of gory set pieces. The town design is creepy and the titular "House" of the title is really rather cool; and fetching with its green and orange make over. The cast aren't asked to do much other than scream, run, fight, scream again and maybe die. So why is the film badly thought of then? I would hazard a guess that it's just a muchness of a muchness in a pretty stagnated sub-genre. Especially during the noughties where remaking horror films of past was the done thing. There's nothing new or fresh here, but neither was that promised by the makers prior to release. Expect your standard teen slasher and this House Of Wax delivers the goods. Anything else will lead to a huge disappointment and have you yearning for that classy Vinnie Price version instead. 6/10
I have not seen the original film, but this is not a remake of the Vincent Price movie, similar to the recent House on hauted hill film also done by Dark castle is not a straight remake. This is very much a modern day teen horror and is one of the best I have seen of the gerne and I have seen quite a few!
Very similar in some ways to Wrong turn, a group of young friends head of for a road trip to a football game and take a shortcut of the beaten road. After camping overnight one of the cars needs a repair. So off they go into the local town where they could become the next main attraction!
House of wax has some good young actors, especially Elisha Cutbert and Paris Hilton in the eye candy role. Good special effects you barely notice as they blend in rather well. Some grusome and original death scenes! For a 15 this does have some gory moments, similar to other Dark Castle productions I noticed. Overall a very good, original horror featuring a strong cast, a bit slow to start but once things start to go wrong for the group the action doesn't let up. Horror fans espescially will want this in their collection!
It has plenty of extras too, a fun commentary by the 4 main actors as they view footage from production and out-takes. A very unique extra as they laugh and joke looking back to the time of filming and nearly 30 minutes long! There is a 10min feature on the production design of the House of wax and the town set. A 8min feature on the special effects used. Also 1 deleted scene, short gag reel and a trailer. A well put together DVD with some fun extras and a great film! 8/10
